18 I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”
22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them? Ecclesiastes 3:18-22
If you are like me, when you are in the midst of trials and tests that God places before you, it is very hard to see the reason or the rationale behind it. The thing is God doesn't want us to see the reason or the rationale behind it. We all know that God wants us to trust Him and His plans for us during the test. However, we are all human and God reminds us that we will suffer death just like the animals. However, we have a promise that the animals don't have, and that is what is going to happen after we are obedient to God. So when we think that work isn't going in the direction we want it to, and we are tested at every corner with something that really makes us angry and question why; remember to enjoy your work, for it is where God has placed in you preparation for the next thing to happen. Just remember to enjoy, because within enjoy is the word joy, which everyone needs to experience.
Have a great weekend.
